INFOBITS is an electronic service of The University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill's Center for Instructional Technology. Each month the
CIT's Information Resources Consultant monitors and selects from a
number of information and instructional technology sources
that come to her attention and provides brief notes for electronic
dissemination to educators.

"This is not a list of individual open access archives of full-text
research papers, but instead lists and comments on other lists of
individual archives. This list and its categorisation gives a broad
overview of the structure, size and progress of full-text open access
eprint archives.

"This list will be maintained and updated as far as is possible,
and is intended to assist further quantitative research on the open
access eprint phenomenon for those who want to measure the growth
and quality of open access eprint archives."
